Not really. There are specific criteria and preferences applied to models about what companies do and don't want them to say. They are intentionally censored. I would like all production models to NOT have this applied. Moreover, I&#x2

Appending the word will occasionally get you blogspam "here's the top X of Y according to reddit". The `site:` query doesn't have that problem.

One more for the pile: Mark Brown’s Industry News Update for alcoholic beverages. It’s a little less explain-everything-easily than Levine but it’s also a less jargon-deep area.

Yeah second this. Most of Levine’s critique is well-aimed, well-reasoned, and well-directed at significant people. Menswear’s “critique” consists mostly of trying to “own” random hundred-follower anons. Same vibes as Ben Shapiro “owning lib

Maybe this depends on the application type. I've written a lot of each, and maintaining anything involving concurrency is worlds easier in Rust, since those tend to be the most painful and time-consuming bugs to fix. It's got a le

The client apps can pretty easily be forked and maintained. We probably wouldn't see much feature growth but I also don't think we need that so much. Lots of OSS projects have been messed up by fundraising and communities often ju

This is obviously less bad than gunshot detectors. The risk of those is they bring not just some police response, but police with violence at top-of-mind. Very dangerous at the best of times; moreso when they're wrong. This doesn'

Assuming you trust Github, of course. I think if someone is seriously worried code has been altered between source and maintainer-provided binary, his big concern will be the time it takes to audit the source code (which he also shouldn&#x2

> fairly owed You're doing it again. You're assuming that it must be a just tax. You're assuming that a tax is somehow intrinsically "owed", that any tax requires no justification.

I've watched chunks of beautiful Texas ranchland get sold off and built up by insufferable austinites for the marginal mcmansion. I will probably oppose a policy that encourages that and would rather the descendant of your so-called &q

Wrong, we literally double everything in our tax code so that spouses can file jointly.

Keeping a clean, public vcs is a pain in the neck. If you're working on anything less than a large open-source project with many devs and random contributions, it's a pointless hassle. Can you tell me how that makes it any sketchi

Okay, I don't actually believe in that form of democracy. Not all things that are legal are good, therefore we should set constraints on what the majority can do. I'd describe your system as closer to mob rule. And no, that is not

Not really. Trace the course of history and the natural state of man is much closer to what Hobbes described. In the wild, homo sapiens doesn't have a taxation system. As we built up civilizations, we created taxes as I described. And

I mentally bucketed that in "try to find money": if you're not selling equity, debt is one way to do that. But the caveat - less money for R&D, expansion, and employees - still applies.

There's also no fundamental reason for the state to institute any form of estate tax; on the contrary, I specified it goes against our usual federal regime of taxing value as it's moved rather than value at rest. If anything, I&#x

You can't just arbitrarily set the status quo that way, can't just sneak a premise that the state has default a right to collect a piece of arbitrary appreciation on an asset (as all assets are used for speculation) when the owner

Family farms are a good example but there are still plenty of others like a family business. I wouldn't care to see an increasing fraction of assets fall into institutional ownership simply because people are taxed out of owning them

This is something people love to rage about, yet it's not one with an obvious fix. The counterpoint is that this leaves money invested, which means others invest in other things, and still entails interest payments. It exists in part b

this kind of makes sense though? if 98% of your users can use a non-accessible site just fine - which, since heavy computer users are mostly young, is realistic - why would you go beyond checkboxes? it's a negative EV move.
